Kolkata (Calcutta) Guide

Napoleon Bonaparte once said "It is the Cause, not the Death, that makes the Martyr". And if the Cause is as big as the two World Wars then it calls for special respect and gratitude for the Martyrs.

During the British Raj there were some good things also that happened... especially in the field of art and architecture. A new architectural style movement was started by the British architects in the late 19th century with the help of Indian artisans and was called the "Indo-Saracenic Revival", also known as Indo-Gothic, Mughal-Gothic and Neo-Mughal architectural style. Since Biritishers had most of their establishments in the port cities of Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Bombay (now Mumbai) so we get to see so many beautiful Buildings and monuments.

If you and interested in heritage and truly wish to experience how the aristocratic families used to live in those days then head strait to "Marble Palace" - A 19th-century Classical mansion with an eclectic collection of antiques.
